by $1.3B by 2030
onsemi (Nasdaq: ON) today announced that it has completed its
acquisition of the Silicon Carbide Junction Field-Effect Transistor
(SiC JFET) technology business, including the United Silicon
Carbide subsidiary, from Qorvo for $115 million in cash.
The addition of SiC JFET technology will complement onsemi’s
extensive EliteSiC power portfolio and enable the company to
address the need for high energy efficiency and power density in
the AC-DC stage in power supply units for AI data centers. In
electric vehicle applications, SiC JFETs help improve efficiency
and safety by replacing multiple components with a solid-state
switch based on SiC JFET in battery disconnect units. In the
industrial end-market, SiC JFETs enable certain energy storage
topologies and solid-state circuit breakers.
“This acquisition further strengthens onsemi’s leadership in
power semiconductors by providing disruptive and market leading
technologies to our customers to solve their most pressing power
density and efficiency problems in AI data centers, automotive and
industrial markets,” said Simon Keeton, group president and general
manager of the Power Solutions Group, onsemi. “We will continue to
innovate and make investments to expand our technology leadership
in providing the most comprehensive power system solutions.”
